ALLAH Q. GARPENTER, 0F CORNING, NEW YORK, ASSIGNOB TO INGBBSOLL-R AND COJHPAHY, OF JERSEY CITY, NEW JERSEY, A CORPORATION OF NEW VERTIUAL COMPRESSOR.

Application filed July 10,

To all whom it may OOfiOW/LS Be it known that I, ALLAN O. Cam en'rsn, 'a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Corning, in the county of Steuben and State of New York, have invented a certain Vertical Con: :rcssor, of which the following is a specification, accompanied by drawlugs.

This invention relates to vertical compressors, pumps and the like, but more particularly to the cylinder construction of multistage compressors.

The objects of the invention are -to en able the cylinders to be constructed in compact block form in order to produce a strong and durable unitary construction, occupying' the minimum of space, and especially adapted for small units, which may be applied to portahlo compressor outfits.

The invention is shown in one of its preferred towns, in the accompanying drawing in Which-- r l igure l a longitudinal sectional elevation of compressor,

Figure 2 is a detail vertical sectional view through the high pressure cylinder on the line 22 l igure 1 looking in the direction of the arrows, and

Figure 3 is :1 horizontul sectional plan view of the compressor on the line 3-3 of Fl re 1.

eferring to the drawings. the compressor comprises the l'mse A of any suitable or usual construction having the crank. shaft B mounted therein which may be provided with he "pulley Q A low pressure sir cyl-- indcr D ismcuntcd on the base A and a cross head guide cylinder E is formed integral with the low pressure air cylinder 1) and arranged alongside the air cylinden, These two cylinders and E form a block cylinder construotimi cast in one piece end a water jacket F is provided for both of said cyliin'lcl's having; the water plug" or plugs G.

The piston ll of the low pressure air cyi-' inder is connected by the connecting rod J to the crank it and the cross heed L in the guide cvlindcr ll is connected by the coulltCllllfj rod 0 to the crank 7?.

An sir cylinders heed Q, extends over both the low nrcssure cylinder 3) and the guide eyL i inder E it high pressure nir cylinder 33 is 1925. Serial m. 42,634.

formed integral with'the said air cylinder head. In assembling the parts the high pressure cylinder R is adapted to be located over the guide cylinder E and the cross head- L is provided with the iston S for the high pressure cylinder R. '1 1e air head Q is preferably formed with the shouldered sent '1 adapted to be seated in the end of the guide cylinder E to center the parts with relation to each other. The high ressure cylinder R is provided with the air cad U havin the intake and discharge valves V and W o an suitable form. The low pressure cylinder 1) is provided with the intake and discharge valves X and Y of unv suitable form.

Air enters at the inlet allnough the low I pressure cylinder D and is discharged at the discharge outlet 6 of the high pressure cylinder R,

A discharge passage 0 connects the dis charge outlet d of the low pressurecylinder D with the intake 0 of the high pressure cylinder E. The air cylinder head Q as shown is preferably open at the top' at f and forms a water tank and a water jacket 9 is thus pro vided for the high pressure cylinder and the parts contained in the said air cylinder head Q. Means are provided for connecting the water jacket g; and the water jacket and for this urpose apertures h and may he provided in the air head guide cylinder casing so that continuous circulation of jacketed water may be obtained.

l claim: A multi-stugo vertical compressor or pump, comprising a base, a low pressure air cylinder mounted on said base and havin a cross head guide cylinder formed integr therewith, said air cylinder and guide cylinder being urran side by side and pro- Vidcd with a water 'acke an air cyliudw head extending over oth t e seid low sure cylinder and guide c finder and log a high pressure air cy inder formed integral therewith adapted to be located over the guide cylinder, pistons for the cylinders, and a cross head in the guide cylinder 00!! nccted to the high pressure pinto n In testimony whereof I have signed this specification.
